[ Another day, another breacher. This time, pitching out a battle-worn and torn version of Barry Allen that goes sprawling into the cortex like he's been literally thrown through the breach. And maybe he was. Either way, she scrambles back to feet that are only half supportive, trying to get back to and through the breach before it closes.

He is not even a little successful. ]

No...oh. No.

[retrochronal]

No, don't. Don't touch me, he's going to kill her.

[Barry throws his hands up in surrender, eyes wide and on alert but not afaid]

Okay, okay, not touching. This is me not touching. Who is going to kill who? And I'm sorry you can't leave. None of us can.

[retrochronal]

Savitar. Iris. How do...how do you not remember this? Where is this place?

[scarletspeedster1]

In my timeline I've already stopped it. It's okay, I think your timeline stops or something...at least...I really hope so. I've been here a couple months and I have yet to find a way out of here yet sadly...

[retrochronal]

No. This is a trick. Or a trap.

[scarletspeedster1]

I won't deny it being a trap, it's a damn good one...doesn't change the fact I can't get out and neither can anyone else.

[retrochronal]

Why don't you care?

[scarletspeedster1]

I do care, I care a lot, very very much in fact. But getting upset and worked up right now isn't going to help. I haven't been able to find a way out, but maybe the two of us together can figure it out. [He's being genuine and sincere, and he's also worried because this mirror of him is injured]

[retrochronal]

No. No, this is one of Savitar's tricks. Like with Wally and his mom. It won't work.

[scarletspeedster1]

[Barry gives a soft sigh, he always hates this part, the part where whoever he's talking too (usually himself) is so damn sure it's a trick or a trap that they're unwilling to listen to reason]

It's not a trick.

[retrochronal]

[ Nice try, Barry. A trick would say that. ]

Sure. Right. Okay.

[scarletspeedster1]

I know I can't convince you that I'm not a trick, but your wounds will cause problems if the debris heals inside of them. Will you at least let me clean you up?

[retrochronal]

[ He keeps backing up when Barry tries to get closer. So apparently not. Thankfully, later on Joe will be able to calm him down. Is it some sort of mixed blessing that his wounds don't actually seem to be healing? ]

[scarletspeedster1]

[sighs]

Well, I'm here if you change your mind.
